Thanks for input guys. ...but, we're talking about making a "new line". It's on par with being able to, say, "type capital letters" or erasing text. i.e it shouldn't even be an issue for the user! I'm wondering if it is just overly difficult to implement a solution that would allow users to simply, well, split the line and think no more of it? Or possibly to introduce a special line breaking character. Is there something fundamentally problematic?
For example in Google Docs, when making a bullet list, they differentiate between pressing the *Enter* key and *Shift+Enter*. The former creates a new bullet. The latter makes a softer line break and doesn't start a new bullet but instead lets you continue the bullet above but on a new line. When you want to exit the list, you press Enter twice. IMO this is the perfect UX. In TW, one way (probably not backward compatible), might be to demand an *empty row* to indicate that the bullet list or table has actually ended. (We do demand empty *preceding* rows for e.g tables or bullet lists.) Any row break that is not preceded by an empty row is simply treated just like non-bullet/non-tables, i.e the text row is merged with the previous text row. This would harmonize with regular TW behaviour for typing text. So, this way one can, in edit view, create visual like breaks inside bullets and inside table cells making complex lists and tables much easier to edit. It would be ideal if it was wysiwyg and this would also create multi-lines showing in *view* mode. Maybe the parser would requre a more explicit character than a line break for this type of soft break. Perhaps, inside bullets and tables, a row ending with >> or \\, and followed by a new line, could mean a soft row break? Would it be possible to implement this or is there something fundamentally problematic with this?
